Back to the Primitive II

In the last post I discussed an asynchronous version of the ManualResetEvent and as promised this time we will be looking at an asynchronous version of the AutoResetEvent. I’m using Stephen Toubs post as reference and we will be building a version that is functional in style that maps straight into asynchronous work flows without and conversion or adaptors.

In this post we are going back to the primitive. No it’s not about the same named song by Soulfly, (which incidentally does contains F# notes) but a return to thread synchronisation primitives and their asynchronous counterparts.

We are going to be looking at an asynchronous version of the ManualResetEvent. This was recently covered by Stephen Toub on the pfx team blog. We will be taking a slightly different view on this as we will be using asynchronous workflows which will give us nice idiomatic usage within F#.

Ok so I have been offline for a while now, what with starting a new financial contract in London and not having any broadband access for a while. I have been working on something, honest!

Since the last post I have been reflecting on the pipeline design and it had a distinct object orientated feel to it that I wasnt happy with, so I have amended the structure of the code and come up with the following which simplifies in some areas and expands in others…

Welcome to new series of articles on pipeline processing.

First up, what’s a pipeline? Well according to Wikipedia:
